Darletha is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from combining 'Dar' and 'Elatha', an ancient Irish goddess associated with the moon. This name has been used sparingly throughout history but gained some recognition in the mid-20th century, particularly among African Americans. It is not one of the most common names, which allows it to retain a certain level of uniqueness and individuality.
"Darletha had a brief spike in popularity in the mid-60s, with nine babies named in 1964 and eight in 1965, but it remained quite uncommon overall, totaling just twenty-seven births between 1955 and 1971."
